After many attempts, you finally managed to take a breathtaking photo that you are quite proud of and you head to your frame shop to look at picture frames so you can give it justice. That is definitely a good purpose for picture frames, but did you know there are other things you can do as well? There are unlimited ways you can preserve a memory in picture frames that will make it fun to add to the décor of your home in the process.

Children’s Art – While they may not want their prom date to see it years from now, you’ll smile every time you look upon your child’s art safely protected in picture frames. Whether it is a finger painting done at school or a crayon drawing done on a rainy day, you’ll love having this reminder of them, especially when they are off on their own. Of course, grandchildren’s art is sometimes even better!

Vacation Mementos – If your vacation memories are tucked into a scrapbook where you rarely look at them, consider putting a few together in picture frames instead. So many things are great displayed like this, such as a coaster from a restaurant, matchbook cover, postcards, pressed flowers and leaves, ticket stubs from an attraction, souvenirs or an airline ticket receipt. A gallery wall for travel photos and memorabilia is a great way to remember special trips throughout the years with family.

Achievements – Picture frames are perfect for diplomas, certifications, sports jerseys, and other achievements that you wish to proudly display. Children may like to see awards and a straight-A report card displayed in their room.
